I purchased it for a reasonable price (less than 7000 r), originally intending to purchase Cloud Core, but deciding to purchase the "alpha" instead for a savings of 1500 r. Overall, I'm satisfied, but: I personally don't need volume control on the wire and, as a result, it interferes - in the end, I resolved the issue by placing two folded pieces of paper in the corners of the wheel and wrapping them in black electrical tape. Due to a major issue with the fabric braid of the wire, it was also chosen to wrap it in electrical tape. The "microphone effect" is a problem that happens when a wire rubs against something, like clothing or even the chair's upholstery. It was determined to address this issue because everything was "translated" into the headphones. It is unknown why the rubber stopper that was provided in the kit was not used, even though it was necessary to close the microphone hole in order to prevent dust buildup. Because of this, the main disadvantage is the requirement to purchase a headset in a completely non-budget price range. As a result, I am asking HyperX to introduce a replaceable wire in a regular, rubber braid without a volume control so I won't have to use a wire that is electrically taped. In every other way, the Xonar DX and the headset are a wonderful match, and they operate well together.
